[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound crazy, but for us, the one thing that I find the least useful is speech therapy even though my son needs a lot of help with his speech. We are also doing the Verbal Behavior Programming (a type of ABA) and that has been WAY more helpful that speech therapy. Out of everything we are doing, ABA is the most helpful.[/quote]

Have you tried more than one ST? What are the specific issues you want to address (oral motor/pronumciation/social communication/?)  I ask for specific needs because maybe someone on here can recommend a ST who is good with the issues you child needs addressed.

We stayed with someone we thought was nice for too long even though in reality we saw little progress. When we finally switched it was like night and day-MUCH more progress. It's easy to forget we are the consumers and if something isn't working, you move on-it's not personal. I spent way too much time early on worrying about hurting someone's feelings or getting known as a pain in the rear. It's worth to the effort to find the right match and once you find that you can relax, because there is no need to be a pain in the rear parent.

That said, I know several people who felt Verbal Behavior Programming was the best intervention for their child.
